creating repeating node data on output

INPUT:

<keys>
<key>
<name>first</name>
<value>123</value>
</key>
<key>
<name>second</name>
<value>45678</value>
</key>
</keys>

XSLT:
<xsl:stylesheet version=\”1.0\” xmlns:xsl=\”http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform\”>

<xsl:template match=\”/\”>
<keysout>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</keysout>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match=\”//key\”>
<xsl:variable name=\”elname\”>
<xsl:value-of select=\”name\”/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:element name=\”{$elname}\”>
<xsl:value-of select=\”value\”/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The trick above is making the element name a variable.

OUTPUT:
<keysout>
<first>123</first>
<second>45678</second>
</keysout>

I would suggest you write it all in native XSLT. We use Stylus Studio which has an XSLT debugger for all our complex maps. Then in Biztalk, click on the map grid, then set the \”Custom XSLT Path\” property to the name of your .xslt stylesheet. You could also try to use the Scripting functoid and use in-line XSLT.
